The rodeo team competed in all events. Each member chose the events in which they wanted to participate. The male members participated in the rough events, while the females stuck to the more subtle events such as calf roping. To be a team member, you had to be in the Haltom Rodeo Club and registered in the North Texas High School Rodeo Club. When you joined these organizations you had to pay entrance fees of S25 The main goal of any team member, no matter what association they were from, was to become the high scoring cowboy. The top two scores go to the Youth Nationals Finals, held at North Side Coliseum. 'LThe finals gave everyone more initiative to win. The top winners sometimes received scholarships, and got sponsors to go profes- sional, stated Cliff Robinson, senior. Rodeo Club Students learned how to han- dle livestock, how to run a rodeo, and how You get a feeling like you want to get out there and ride. You have to have dedication enough to get back up once you're thrown. - Cliff Robinson the participants feel. The members also had the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the state.

Getting back to nature gave students a chance to demonstrate A love of the outdoors Motivating students to love the outdoors and respect nature and wildlife was Ron Frank's job. Mr. Frank taught Outdoor Education and sponsored Woods and Waters, the club that supported Outdoor Ed. To be involved in Woods and Waters, students were required to be enrolled in Out- door Ed. The purpose of the club is to put into practice what we learn in the classroom, and since Explorers is a division of the Boy Scouts, we were allowed to use their facilities, Mr. Frank said. In October students in Explorer Post 747, along with other Explorers, went on a 1436 mile canoe trip down the Brazos River. Other activities of the Explorers included a field trip to Alpine Shooting Range, where students practiced shooting skeet and trap with 12-gauge shotguns. In April they went on a campout at Richardson Scout Ranch at Bridgeport Lake. During the campout students participated in such activities as rapelling, shooting 22-caliber rifles and shotguns and rock climbing. Hunting, fishing and camping were among the subjects taught in the classroom. These could be applied by the students in their out- door recreation. Paramedics from the Richland Hills Fire Department taught Cardiovascular Pulmonary Resuscitation, and after a test students received their CPR card. The canoe trip was fun when we flipped ours by the bridge. - Roland Pollard Wilderness and hunter's ethics were also carefully studied subjects. Mr. Robby Lusk, a fishery biologist, gave information of the different types of fish found in Texas. Of- ficer Lindell Johnson gave a black powder shooting demonstration and a state game warden, Ernest DeLa Rosa, spoke' on game laws. Troy Hodges, a snake trainer, brought a copperhead, a cottonmouth and a rat- tlesnake tothe class. I liked studying about guns and hun- ting, Rex Layton, junior, said, because I like the feeling of freedom you get while be- ing outdoors hunting. Woods and Waters 89
